Chapter 18: English Buffet

.lā Xianfeng was furious and asked Jing Zhao Yin to send someone to investigate and see the cause of death and how it was caused. Sushun Mansion was surrounded, not allowed to enter or exit, the people who were present the day before, thought it was the anger of the royal family, but now everyone also understands that this is suicide in fear of sin. They can't help but think, then who is that unlucky guy? Within two days, Qingyu held a banquet in the Imperial Garden, and invited the wives of the clan and some important ministers to come in and try the English buffet.

It's really a water of British furnishings, and it's a British chef who is invited. Borrowed from other people's embassies, in Qingyu's words, let these wives see the British way of life. Of course, Qingyu didn't invite a British wife, mainly because even if she has been in the UK for many years, she thinks everything else is dark cuisine except for English breakfast and afternoon tea.

The wives gave Qingyu and Concubine Li, Duan Guiren, and Mei Guiren looked at all kinds of food on the long table, and it was quite beautiful, but they just didn't know what it was, so they could only look at Qingyu. Originally, they came in with a mission, Su Shun died a little strangely, and the reaction in the palace was a little weird, and no one paid attention to the condition of the concubine all of a sudden, and they all focused on the faint gossip.

And as soon as she saw Qingyu's posture, she forgot what her family had told her, and her eyes felt that she was not enough.

"The buffet is to let everyone get together, eat and drink, but there is no table, everyone can freely pick their favorite dishes on the plate, and then find their favorite person to sit together, eat, drink and chat."

Qingyu explained with a smile, generally speaking, this will have a theme, such as a parent-product press conference, or a press conference or something like that. But today's theme is to let them meet the ladies of the palace. But this is not so obvious, so she thought of this form of buffet, and her theme is to eliminate rumors.

"Looks cold, is it delicious?" A lady couldn't help but ask.

"Truth be told, except for the little sausages and the cakes, everything else is pretty average. By the way, we Rong'an like this chicken wing very much. She gestured to the grilled chicken wings, which she tasted and felt a bit like Ken's New Orleans grilled wings. It feels a little more fragrant, though.

Everyone laughed together, it was rare to see the queen mother talking like this, which was very interesting. So everyone tried the taste one by one, Qingyu hugged Rong'an and fed her chicken wings, of course, Concubine Li, Duan Guiren, and Mei Guiren didn't know what was going on outside, and they behaved quite normally, although they were not suitable for this kind of banquet, but they were also very stuffy in the palace, and they were willing to chat a few words when someone talked to them.

Qingyu doesn't care at all, let them go, anyway, this banquet is held for this, so that people outside know that no one in the palace is pregnant, so the emperor will not be bored to kill Su Shun.

Rong An ate two chicken wings, played for a while, and became sleepy, Qingyu asked Mama Lin to take her back, and then set her eyes on the ladies in the garden who had adapted to it, and then looked, the three people in the palace were also very happy, and they knew that she had succeeded this time.

"Why don't you eat." Qingyuan came over and gave her a plate with a small sausage on it, and there were a lot of varieties of cakes, she didn't dare to take it.

"Go get a piece of the Black Forest for Zhuang Fujin." Qingyu turned around and ordered, and the people behind her were busy. Qingyu picked up the small sausage with a small fork and took a bite, which was imported from the United Kingdom, with a serious British taste.

"What's that?" Qing Yuan didn't know what the Black Forest was, and frowned.

"Cake, go back and bring some back for the children to taste, Rong An likes to eat it very much, but I'm afraid of bad teeth, so I only allow her to eat it once in three or four days." Qingyu smiled at this sister. Over the years, their relationship has not been salty or light, Qingyu likes smart people, and Qingyuan just is, the two can talk about it.

"How's your body lately?" Qing Yuan saw that there was no one around her, and asked in a low voice. After knowing that she was ruined by the old lady that year, she chose her family, although Qingyu has not shown anything, but she knows that she does not do what a sister should do. was tormented in her heart from time to time, and then she gave birth to three sons in a row, and after her status in the house was as stable as Mount Tai, she was even more guilty of her sister who gave her stability.

"It's good, by the way, let my wife quit smoking, did you say that?" Qingyu didn't want to see her look at her with sympathy in her eyes.

"I asked the imperial doctor, if you don't let her smoke, she will die faster, and now let people control her, you can't keep smoking every day." Last year, Jue Luo had phlegm, but Qingyu still sent someone to take a look and directly asked her to quit smoking. Of course, Qingyuan cares more about her own mother and often takes care of her.

"Also, you still have to look at it, the concubine is only in her forties, and she looks almost the same as his wife!"

"My mother is only forty!" Qingyuan was not happy.

"Oh, well, my mother is fine." Qingyu smiled and stuck a knife into Qingyuan's wound.

"Are you really jealous?" Qingyuan thought about the Jiang family, who was still radiant at this time, and sighed lightly, her mother was only forty years old, just like sixty, and even Qingyu forgot that she was only forty years old. She fought with the Jiang family for a lifetime, but she lost cleanly.

"No, I know the emperor, so I'm very good to them." Qingyu smiled and looked at the three people who were chatting happily with the ladies and shook her head. looked at Qingyuan and sighed softly, "The emperor is a poor person, and in the original family, Amma, Mrs., and my mother are all poor people." ”

Qingyuan looked at her indifferent sister, even if the two of them were so close at this time, she still felt that Qingyu was very far away. It's not the emotional distantness of the previous one. It's a kind of indescribable distant.

"So in fact, what the prince is worried about has never been what you are worried about, and the problem you are worried about is completely different from what we think." Qing Yuan looked at Qing Yu.

"Yes, I'm worried about the knife club in Shanghai, I'm worried about whether it will lead to war." Qingyu smiled at her, just as the palace people sent a small saucer with a small piece of black pastry-like things on it. She stretched out her hand to Qingyuan, "There is a foreign wine party inside, and the taste is very fragrant." I also like a kind of cheesecake, but the emperor doesn't like it. ”

"What about the noble concubine? The prince felt that the six kings would not give up so easily. Qingyuan forked the whole cake like Qingyu and took a bite.

"Use the fork as a knife and eat it piece by piece." Qingyu's face was wrinkled, she reached out for the plate to catch the cake that almost fell, and then took Qingyuan's fork and cut it sideways to her, and then forked a small piece and fed it to her mouth, and the people below also saw it, and suddenly smashed the rumors that the queen and the Zhuang Fujin sisters were at odds.
